Cats In Bustles an d Dogs in muhs.

IParlS Letter to the London truth.
Fashion has long been favorable to dogs.
Cats are now coming forward. Some charm
ing bellies at Luchon thought this season of
using the Pyrenean cat-which is a pretty
creature and not so wild as it looks-as a
suiyez moi, jeune homme. The notion
sprang up in this way. A beauty down
there was given in one of her excursions q
lovely cat. But, as her arms were laden
with mountain flowers, how carry it? A
peasant suggested cutting hole at one of
the ends of hand basket for needlework,
just large enough for the cats neck to be
held in without strangulation when the lid
was fastened down. Az the basket was
padded and lined with satin, and bedizened
with fringe and ribbons, pussy did not OBJ
ject to being prisoner therein, and to being
placed on the lady's hustle as pack. There
was no other means of carrying the feline
unless there. So the basket was lifted up
with strings to tie on to the waist, and so
borne into Luchon. The arrangement was
| daring, original and piquant. 1t found imi-
tators, and in few days there were not Pyr-
enean cats enough for the ladies' busrles.
Fashion even dared to invade the sanctuary
at Lourdes with mountain tom or tabby on
the dorsal hump.
A fashion prophet tells me that next win
| ter the back part of the muff will contain
a pouch in which q cat is to lie. A contri-
vance of this sort was first hit upon by Mile.
Schneider for her black-and-aan terrier,
which regarded the inside of the muf as 8
prison and wanted to look about when keep
ing the hands of his mistress warm. The
Duchess de Bauffremont then took up the
arrangement and used to carry about as many
puppies as could fit into the pouch. Prin-
cess Isabeau de Beauvais Craon used to re-
mind me of a maternal kangaroo. Her muH
had the pocket in front and parcel of pups
heads of various breeds peeped from out of
the opening at the top.

A teacher in boys school in an adjoining
county found forty big pupils out of sixty
three who had never read the Constitution of
the United States, and were ignorant of the
cause which led to its preparation. Every
mothers son of them, however, could tell of
the standing of each base ball club in the Ma
tional league and the American association.

to duelling, which sprang up after the Shan
non-Cash duel in 1880, led to the passage of
an act making the sending of challenge
felony, and Colonel MeMurr ay had the cour-
age not to appear at the place of meeting,
but to send a constable with warrant, in
his stead, who seized the other colonel and
carried him off. He has been indicted, and
is now to be tried.
The open revolt of Mr.. Crisp of Baltimore
against the German ring is significant. Crisp
was president of the Democratic city conven-
ton of Baltimore, having been a Democrat
all his life and for many years politician of
prominence. He has now joined the reform
ers, because he says the Democratic organiza-
ton does not represent the party, but regis
ters simply the orders of few unscrupulous
persons. He says these persons with their
agents ''have robbed the ballot boxes and
turned the registration lists into instruments
federal, State and city governments corrupt
ly for the purpose of perpetuating their hold
upon the party organization which they mis-
represent and disgrace" He says that when
honest methods shall again obtain in the
party and fair elections shall be conceded he
will be again found promoting its interests
and advocating its principles.
1t is claimed that Socialism is being prac-
tically experimental with in New South
Wales, Australia. There is no State church
and no hereditary aristoeracy; suffrage is free
and there is no property qualification for
members of parliament. "Eight hours"
said Lord Darlington, the governor, in re-
cent speech, care considered long enough
working hours; public houses are shut on
Sundays and museums opened; the sale
and transfer of land is made very easy by
statutory enactment; men unable to find em-
ployment are provided with work by the
government, and education is practically free.
In fact, if we leave out the demand for free
daily meal for each child attending school
and proposal that steps be taken to organize
labor under skilled direction uncultivated
lands, we find a state of things exactly SIM
liar to that suggested in memorial present
ed last year to Lord Salisbury by the English
Social Democratic Federation, who in Europe
would be considered generally as dangerous
and half crazy visionaries. The result is that
we have now an almost perfect system of
government"

An ingenious swindler has been abroad in
Maine. He has been selling patent churns to
the Maine farmers, taking in payment notes
payable on demand and made "not transfer
able," aud pledging himself not to demand
payment within certain long period. Then
he changed the "not" to note and sold the
notes, and the farmers were called upon to
pay up.

The st. Paul Pioneer-Press thinks that the
temperance tide has turned from prohibition
to high license and gives these reasons for its
opinion: During the present year three grea'
States, representing communities widely sep
arated in sentiment and interest, have de-
clared, on popular vote, against prohibi-
ton. Michigan, which once before tried the
effect of this medicine and then renowned
it, heads the list. Texas, in which leading
Democratic politicians gave prohibition their
full support, is second. Tennessee, where
the local option law has had wide influence
and where temperance sentiment is far adj
vanced. comes third. This marks great
change and one full of meaning
